"But they fell behind in the 35th minute as Dan Ballard gave surprise package Sunderland the lead with a fierce close-range strike. That marked the first goal Arsenal had conceded since September 28, when Nick Woltemade put Newcastle United ahead at St James' Park. Mikel Arteta's men were much improved after the break and turned the game around through a Bukayo Saka equaliser and Leandro Trossard's spectacular long-range effort."

The result means Sunderland move up into third, a point ahead of defending champions Liverpool, ahead of Sunday's fixtures. Arsenal's setback will give the Reds extra motivation for the clash with City,"
